Have anyone seen this before? I was so excited to see this at a fruit stall in local wet market this morning. Immediately I grabbed one packet to share with you guys here. Yes, it is PURPLE colour cili padi aka bird-eye chili!

It was sold in small packets of 25g each, at RM1. I thought it is quite expensive considering I can buy normal bird-eye chili at around RM1 for 100g. Taste wise, not very hot to me yet to test on my only guinea pig. I am wondering how they grown this, asked the lady boss she told me it was natural colour. Hmm... seen red okra and now purple chili. What next? Blue oranges?

K. Nor & Vernice,I love purple but think of growing only when you guys asked about it. Got some red chilies, I think I will keep some seeds for growing in the future. For now, whatever I grow my little boy will pull them all out.

It was from Bayan Baru market (http://www.penang-traveltips.com/bayan-baru-market.htm), a fruit stall at the corner(own by old couple) and opposite a vegetarian ingredients stall. Near to the stall selling dried food, ikan bilis etc.
